    Story
    (94)

    In the years around 1870, the concept of building a great bridge to span the East River between the cities of Manhattan and Brooklyn required a vision and determination comparable to that which went into the building of the pyramids. Throughout the fourteen years of the bridge's construction, the odds against its successful completion seemed staggering. Bodies were crushed and broken, lives were lost, political empires fell, and surges of public emotion constantly threatened the project.

    Anyone interested in 19th century American history, leadership themes or the development of technology should listen to this book. It's brilliant. McCullogh is amazing in his ability to put the reader in a place in the past.
